Sheveluch volcano

Sheveluch volcano [3] in Kamchatka produced a moderate explosion with ash rising about 2 km above the volcano to an altitude of 14,000 ft (4.2 km) and drifting south. VAAC Tokyo could not identify the ash on satellite data, but issued an alert.

Low-level ash emissions continue from Paluweh volcano (Rokatenda) [4]. A recent Terra / Modis satellite image shows the ash plume at 6-8,000 ft altitude (2-2.4 km) drifting about 60 km to the west.

At Kilauea volcano on Hawai'i [5], the active lava flows southeast of Pu`u `O`o continued to advance across the coastal plain and may reach the ocean in the next few days, HVO reports.

Popocatépetl [6] in Mexico continued to have an elevated number of emissions during 10-11 Nov (97 total) and produce occasional weak explosions, sometimes containing ash and ejecting glowing tephra onto the crater.

Fuego volcano [7] produced 6 weak strombolian explosions during 10-11 Nov and the lava flow remained active with a length of about 400 m.

Santiaguito [8] had 2 small explosions on the evening of 10 Nov from the lava dome, and the lava flows, apparently still weakly alimented, produced occasional small avalanches.

Nevado del Ruiz volcano [9], Colombia: Seismic activity has remained generally calm with the exception of a small regional quake earlier today and an elevated number of small earthquakes visible on today's seismic recordings.

The seismic swarm in the Tjörnes Fracture Zone [10] north off Iceland continues with no signs of stopping, but even seems to have intensified over the past 3 days.
